Funding & Grants

Whilst the University wants societies to be as self-financing as possible, there is the opportunity for societies to apply for a grant. CUSU is here to give advice and help with your society's application, so read on to find out if you could qualify!

What are the grants for?

Grants may be given for the following reasons:

Launching Grants: small grants normally of around £100 or less to cover the start-up costs of a new society.

Capital Equipment Purchases: for purchasing equipment which will be of lasting and continuing benefit.

Special Activities: for events outside the normal activities of the society that are not feasibly self financing.

Guarantees Against Loss: often given on events (e.g. theatrical productions), or for the issue of a publication. These requests need to be submitted well in advance.

Annual Grants: awarded to fund a society's activities during the year, and are given on the merit of the application.

How do I apply?

2. Submit your form (electronically), 10 days before the next scheduled meeting. Applications must be typed and sent by email to the Senior Treasurer for approval before onward transmission by email, direct from the Senior Treasurer, to the Secretary of the Societies Syndicate: SocietiesSyndicate@admin.cam.ac.uk
